Samokov will host the final tournament for the efbet Bulgarian Cup 2026, which will take place from January 16 to 18 in the new multi-functional Arena "SamElion". The competition will bring together the top eight teams from the efbet Super Volley standings after the end of the half-season.
The current trophy holder, Levski Sofia, will aim to defend the Cup against the strongest competition in the country.

Three days of high-level volleyball.

The upcoming final tournament promises to offer top-class volleyball. The format guarantees contested matches right from the quarter-final stage, with each of the eight participants vying for a spot in the final for the prestigious trophy.
The new arena and Samokov's proximity to Sofia create conditions for a strong public presence and an excellent competitive atmosphere. Tickets are expected to go on sale in the coming days.

Samokov – a proven sports center.

The city has long been among the preferred locations for volleyball camps, tournaments, and international events. Excellent sports facilities and strategic proximity to the capital make Samokov a natural partner for Bulgarian volleyball.

In the summer of 2025, several national teams, including the men's national team – world vice-champions, conducted their preparation there. This further confirms the sports community's trust in the local infrastructure.

Arena "SamElion" – the new home of major events.

With its modern appearance and multi-functional capabilities, "SamElion" has quickly established itself as one of the most contemporary sports facilities in the country. The complex already hosts a number of significant events, and its appointment as host of the efbet Bulgarian Cup is a logical next step.

Samokov continues to develop its sports image, and the final tournament in January will be further proof of the city's ambition to be a center for major volleyball events in Bulgaria.
